Since OS X doesn't (yet, and likely never will IMO) use both processors on an S900, you're better off with a faster single CPU. Under OS 9 there's Photoshop and maybe 1 or 2 others that will use dual CPUs. The problem here is that OS 9 is brain-dead and not dual CPU aware. Hell, it's barely single CPU aware! I just recently dropped a G4/450 into my S900, and it made a *huge* difference. OS X went from interesting-to-play-with-but-glacially-slow to 100% useable. Soon there will be 800 mhz G4s available for S900s. There's lots of life left in these machines!
